Context: Convectively-driven flows play a crucial role in the dynamo processes that are responsible for producing magnetic activity in stars and planets. It is still not fully understood why many astrophysical magnetic fields have a…
Thin ferroelectric BaTiO$_3$ films often exhibit continuous transitions instead of the first-order behavior of bulk crystals, a discrepancy usually attributed to epitaxial strain or dimensionality. Using quasi-adiabatic nanocalorimetry on…

While the kinetics of domain growth, even for conserved order-parameter dynamics, is widely studied for short-range inter-particle interactions, systems having long-range interactions are receiving attention only recently. Here we present…
Motivated by the experimental observation [1] that driving a non-interacting Bose gas in a 3D box with weak disorder leads to power-law energy growth, $E \propto t^{\eta}$ with $\eta=0.46(2)$, and compressed-exponential momentum…
We study the dynamics of a particle moving in a square two-dimensional Lorentz lattice-gas. The underlying lattice-gas is occupied by two kinds of rotators, "right-rotator (R)" and "left-rotator (L)" and some of the sites are empty…
The asymmetric simple exclusion process with additional Langmuir kinetics, i.e. attachment and detachment in the bulk, is a paradigmatic model for intracellular transport. Here we study this model in the presence of randomly distributed…
We show that the presence of a driven bond in an otherwise diffusive lattice gas with simple exclusion interaction results in long-range density-density correlation in its stationary state. In dimensions $d>1$ we show that in the…

A lattice gas with infinite repulsion between particles separated by $\leq 1$ lattice spacing, and nearest-neighbor hopping dynamics, is subject to a drive favoring movement along one axis of the square lattice. The equilibrium (zero drive)…
Using Monte Carlo simulations we study the phase ordering dynamics of a \textit{multi}-species system modeled via the prototype $q$-state Potts model. In such a \textit{multi}-species system, we identify a spin states or species as the…
We study microscopic single domains nucleating and growing within the coexistence region of the Isotropic (I) and Nematic (N) phases in magnetic field. By rapidly switching on the magnetic field the time needed to align the nuclei of…

The lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is used to study the kinetics of domain growth of a binary fluid in a number of geometries modeling porous media. Unlike the traditional methods which solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation, the LB method…
We study transport of interacting particles in weakly disordered media. Our one-dimensional system includes (i) disorder: the hopping rate governing the movement of a particle between two neighboring lattice sites is inhomogeneous, and (ii)…

We study the effect of disorder on the particle density evolution in a classical Hamiltonian driven lattice setup. If the disorder is localized within a finite sub-domain of the lattice, the emergence of strong tails in the density…
Diffusion-coagulation can be simply described by a dynamic where particles perform a random walk on a lattice and coalesce with probability unity when meeting on the same site. Such processes display non-equilibrium properties with strong…
We present Monte Carlo simulations of the lattice gas with nearest-neighbor exclusion and Kawasaki (hopping) dynamics, under the influence of a nonuniform drive, on the square lattice. The drive, which favors motion along the +$x$ and…
